"The Fun They Had"

1. What are some of the positive aspects of school in 2157? Some positive aspects of school in 2157 is that there was only one teacher focusing on one student. Even though the teacher was mechanical it adjusted to only one student, and it teaches the student in a pace which is best for them. They can also learn things when they choose too, and by that i just mean the time during the day. Since some people prefer to learn later during the day, and it is better and easier for them that is a very good aspect.

2. What do you think would be some of the drawbacks or downsides to school in 2157? There are many things which make the schools which we have today much better than in 2157. Firstly we are taught by humans, and since we are surrounded by people we socialize and we fulfill each other. We are also able to actually make a connection. Since a mechanical teacher is the same as a screen, many beautiful and enjoyable things such as reading books would be forgotten. As well as that children wouldn't communicate as much as we do now. Although even now most of the times we are on our phones or laptops instead of talking to each other face to face.

3. Which version of school do you think would be better? The version you have now, or the version Margie and Tommy have in 2157? I think that the way that our schools work now is much better since we can actually communicate and attach to people. We are also surrounded by many people and we all are taught and used to help each other and communicate. If we were to be just taught by robots/mechanical teacher we would forget the things which are beautiful in life such as drawing, painting, reading a book.
